The life of Tyrus after Season 3

I don't mind

Cyrus POV

After the incident at the movie night, everything went by as usual. We didn't talk to Buffy and Marty about it. TJ didn't want to spoil their fun because of his conflicts. As much as I had loved to disagree with him, I decided to let it as it is. It's Thursday now, lunchtime to be specific. Buffy, Marty and I were sitting at the lunch tables. But I wonder were TJ is tho.

"Marty do you have any idea where TJ is? I only got a quick glance at him during the first break and lunch is almost over."

Marty looked up and me and started grinning.

"Yeah, he's in detention. Romeo wanted to get the golf cart again to give you a ride, but Mr. Bag was prepared this time. On top of that, he also got detention for this afternoon."

Buffy was shaking her head while I buried mine in my hands.

"I told him one day he won't be that lucky. Now I have to wait for him.. ughh."

At these words, Buffy raised her Eyebrow.

"Why would you wait for him? He should've seen it coming, don't torture yourself like that."

"The thing is me and TJ agreed to play some video games this evening. So I have no other option than waiting"

Things weren't ideal but welp I can't change it now. I saw Andi coming in our direction, I haven't seen her all morning and she looks quite exhausted. Buffy was the first one to talk to her.

"Andi where have you been? Have you slept in?"

"I wish I had slept in. I'm finishing that assignment for SAVA, the project is due tomorrow and they're going to be here to see it personally."

"Oh right, that's also the reason why every student has to be at the entrance hall tomorrow morning."

Marty pointed out. Right, I completely forgot about it. Probably because Andi won't show us anything. She's really persistent about that. But I have no time to think about that, lunch's almost over.

As I was about to get up, someone walked right into me. Wanna guess who that person was?

"Can't you look around you before you get up Goodman?"

It was Kira. Out of all students at this school, I had to bump into her. It seems like she was about to get up as well from the table behind me. Was she there the whole time? Before I could say anything she was already gone. What a relief.

. . .

It's 5 PM now and I'm waiting outside of the detention room. TJ should get out any minute by now. Some people would be annoyed by having to wait for their partners, but I really don't mind. I got to finish my math homework in the meantime so it could be worse. Finally, the door swings open and TJ was the first one to get out of the room.

"Sooo have you learned your lesson, or do you wanna try to steal the golf cart again?"

I teased him with a smile. He was looking to the ground, hoping I wouldn't see his facial expression that says "I know you're right but I won't admit it". We were about to go but then Kira walked out of the room. She was also in detention? I'm getting tired of seeing her, once every few days was acceptable. But again like at lunch, she only gave us a quick, annoyed glare before she vanished. But I won't let her ruin my mood, so me and TJ went to his place.

But not even there were was our peace granted. As it turns out TJ forgot to rake the leaves in his garden like he'd promised to do so. Since the weather forecast for tomorrow is rain, he also can't delay it for tomorrow. A bit tired but still with the hopes of a good evening I'm helping TJ. After all, there's no way I'd just let him do all the work when we could get this done in half the time. And I also think he could use some company, he suffered enough today. Their garden is actually quite pretty. A lawn, a small pond, and a tool shed that's standing towards the Kippen house. But it's surely more enjoyable during the summer when it's not as dark as it is now. Thank god they have good light here, otherwise, you wouldn't see a thing. Just as we were done with the garden, dinner was ready. So me, TJ, Amber and their mom were sitting at the table, eating her self made chicken wraps.

"Cyrus it's so good to finally have you here, TJ talks about you a lot. Is the wrap alright?"

TJ's cheeks went a bit red and he concentrated on his food. It's almost like he's embarrassed about it, but why tho I'm already his boyfriend? Amber is trying to hide her laugh.

"Thanks, Mrs. Kippen, thank you for having me. The wrap is delicious!"

"Please call me Cybill."

"Mom where is dad? Shouldn't he already be here?"

Amber asked a good question. Only now I noticed that the table was set for one more person.

"He should be here at any moment, he had his first day at the new workplace."

Right, TJ told me about it. Their father was unemployed for a longer amount of time. That's why he and Amber decided to get a job in the first place. And just like that, the door swung open. I assumed that the man who arrived must be Mr. Kippen.

"Hey everyone, sorry I'm a bit late."

His eyes stopped when he looked at me.

"Oh you're Cyrus I guess, TJ told us a lot about you. I'm Jack."

He got the table and shook my hand. Again it seems like TJ would rather sink into the ground than me hearing that he talks about me. But I think it's cute.

"I see TJ finally raked the leaves. What about the ladder? Your uncle Terrence wanted to stop by so he could get that thing back."

"He didn't come when Cyrus and I were done with the garden, I put the ladder next to the tool shed, so if he wants to get it today, he can just grab it."

Oh, right there was a ladder. I completely forgot about that.

"Cyrus was helping you with the garden? That was really kind of you. Just don't do that too often or he gets even lazier hahaha!"

After dinner was over we finally went up to the first floor in his room. It's a neat room. Bigger than mine for sure. The walls were pastel-blue. Right next to the door at the wall there was TJ's desk with a computer. A bit behind the desk and the gaming chair there was a white closet with a mirror at one door. Next, to that there is the TV, standing on a piece of white TV furniture that matches the closet. On the opposite side of the TV is the bed. It's a quite simple black bed with a black nightstand. Between that and the point where the open door touches the wall is a keyboard with a small seat in front of it. On the ground is a simple grey carpet. 

"C'mon get on the bed Muffin, so we can start gaming."

Right, that's why we were here in the first place. When I got on the bed I was looking outside the window for a brief moment. I noticed how the tool shed was visible from here. The white ladder was still there. While we were playing me and TJ got closer and closer. In the end, we gave up any attempt to play a game cause we always ended up cuddling on the bed. For a moment we just staring at each other's eyes.

"Everytime I look at your brown eyes, I could lose myself in them."

I genuine smile came on my face.

"Have you ever seen your own eyes? The green in your eyes literally gives me life."

Now TJ was the one who couldn't hold back a smile. I couldn't help myself but give him a peck on his cheek. His cheeks were really red but he didn't seem to mind. For this moment everything was perfect. It didn't matter that TJ had detention, that we had to clean the garden, that we're not out to our parents or that we couldn't kiss. The whole world didn't matter to us. It felt like there were only TJ and me. Eventually, we ended up spooning. TJ being the big spoon. I could feel his heartbeat when I focused on it. It was so calming that we fell asleep.

We woke up because of my phone that was ringing. It was my mother and when I looked at the time I surely knew why, it's 9:30 PM, I was supposed to be home 30 Minutes ago. I quickly answered her call, explaining to her that I just fell asleep and that I'm on my way home, much to TJ's dismay. When I left the Kippen house I looked at the phone. Suddenly I was in a group chat with TJ and Amber. Amber has sent a photo of TJ and me sleeping on the bed.

"Sorry, but I just couldn't help myself when I walked in. I hope you don't mind xoxo"

I didn't mind at all. In fact, it's my new phone background now.

A/N: So we're getting closer and closer to the huge surprise I'm so excited to write :D
I think this was my longest chapter but believe me I had good reasons to strech it out like that. I hope you still liked it.
